LE SCAN SPORT – The Canadian put on gloves during a change of sides on Friday, during his quarter-final of the Munich tournament against Jan-Lennard Struff.
To prepare for the clay court of Roland-Garros (May 26-June 9), there are those who chose the ATP 500 in Barcelona, and those who opted for the ATP 250 in Munich. The seconds, and among them Felix Auger-Aliassime (34th), must regret it. Far from the Catalan sun, the Canadian faced the German Jan-Lennard Struff (28th) on Friday in unpredictable weather. Interrupted by rain, this quarter-final will not be resumed until Saturday. Worse, the low temperatures forced «FAA» to put on gloves when changing sides.
“Is this tennis or biathlon?”, asked an Internet user in front of this funny scene. At the time of the interruption, Struff led 7-5 and 3-1. The winner of this duel will face the Dane Holger Rune (12th), who defeated the Swiss Marc-Andrea Huesler (223rd) on Friday. The other semi-final will pit the American Taylor Fritz (15th) against the Chilean Cristian Garin (106th).
